My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 446: Qi Yuan’s Supreme Truth

Within the Six Heavens, countless gazes were fixed on the clouds above.

Many cultivators clenched their fists, silently praying for their ancestral patriarchs.

If their patriarchs could comprehend the Supreme Truth and become Supreme Truth Yang Gods, the standing of their sects would rise significantly.

Most of the attention, however, was focused on Black Sword and Supreme Sun Celestial.

This was because experts had been explaining that these two were certain to comprehend the Supreme Truth—and it would be extraordinary.

Yet, there were also some who turned their attention to the Molo Celestial, who was lying on a bed.

“That guy is ugly and acts weird.”

“Watch your mouth—are you tired of living?”

“Relax, we're far away from him.”

These spectators, some of whom were from the First Heaven, felt emboldened by the distance.

Time ticked by.

Oxhorn Sister, holding her jade slip, continued her commentary: “Look at that one with three heads—he’s shaking them like crazy. I wonder if he’s about to comprehend something big? Maybe...he’s holding back a breakthrough?”

“I was wrong—he’s not comprehending anything. He just has a stiff neck.”

“Alright, let’s shift our focus to the ugly freak, Molo Celestial. What weird surprise does he have in store for us now?”

“Wait a second, is he sleeping?”

At this moment, Qi Yuan, who had been lying on his bed, suddenly turned over and glared viciously at Purple Fate Xue.

He was furious.

This woman was something else.

“Oh, he’s not asleep after all. That was just my assumption. My bad. I shouldn’t have said he’s ugly—I should’ve said his looks are inconvenient,” Oxhorn Sister remarked brazenly.

She was fearless.

Being on the verge of stepping into the Yang God realm, and coming from Black Demon Abyss, she naturally didn’t take the Molo Clan’s Molo Celestial seriously.

A burly male cultivator saw this and couldn’t help but comment, “Aren’t you afraid that Molo Celestial might suddenly have a breakthrough and comprehend some kind of Heaven-grade Supreme Truth, stepping into the Grand Supreme Truth realm?”

As for the Ice Sword cultivator, he wisely kept silent.

He was shrewd enough to know not to mess with Purple Fate Xue.

Sure enough…

Purple Fate Xue tilted her head and looked at the burly man.

“He’s so ugly, if he can comprehend a Heaven-grade Supreme Truth, then you, looking just as ugly, should give it a shot. Why don’t you go up to the Wall of Supreme Truth and give it a try?” Purple Fate Xue’s words were dripping with sarcasm.

She was practically calling him ugly to his face.

The burly man’s face turned red, and he was left speechless by Purple Fate Xue’s cutting words.

“The bed Molo Celestial is lying on looks big—why don’t you go keep him company?” Purple Fate Xue mocked everyone equally.

The burly man remained silent.

At this moment, a brilliant flash of light suddenly appeared on the Wall of Supreme Truth.

Everyone’s attention shifted toward that light.

“Divine light rises in the east—has someone already comprehended the Supreme Truth?”

“Is it possible this happened so quickly?”

“This is...the Yang God from the Third Heaven, known as the Furious Celestial. How did he achieve this so fast?”

“What kind of Supreme Truth did he comprehend?”

“We can’t know such private matters, but judging by the divine light, it’s of a high grade!”

“The divine light flows like the eastern river, endlessly surging—this is a Mystic-grade Supreme Truth!” A Supreme Truth Yang God confirmed, putting an end to speculation.

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators turned to look at Furious Celestial, their expressions filled with envy.

A Mystic-grade Supreme Truth was nothing to scoff at.

This meant that after stepping into the Supreme Truth realm, Furious Celestial wouldn’t be among the weaker ones.

“This guy’s sect… they’re about to soar to new heights!”

“When will our patriarch comprehend the Supreme Truth?”

Many voices buzzed in discussion.

Wusheng Celestial’s eyes sparkled. “This is a good omen. Hopefully, this Supreme Truth Debate will bring forth more cultivators who grasp the Supreme Truth.”

The Supreme Truth Association hoped for more Supreme Truth cultivators to emerge in the Six Heavens.

Every Supreme Truth cultivator was a potential future member of their organization.

At the foot of the Wall of Supreme Truth, over a thousand Yang Gods sat with their eyes closed in deep thought.

Some had been startled by Furious Celestial’s breakthrough, while others remained immersed in their own worlds.

Time passed slowly.

Divine light occasionally surged from the Wall of Supreme Truth, prompting exclamations of awe.

Each new Supreme Truth that was comprehended had the potential to alter the balance of worlds.

Especially among rival sects in the same Heaven—when they saw their enemies’ patriarchs comprehending the Supreme Truth, their expressions turned darker than if their own fathers had died.

Meanwhile, those whose own patriarchs succeeded were brimming with pride.

Time flowed rapidly, and all eyes remained locked on the Wall of Supreme Truth.

The focus was particularly intense on Black Sword and Supreme Sun Celestial, who were under the most scrutiny from the Grand Supreme Truth cultivators.

After all, no matter how many others comprehended the Supreme Truth, they wouldn’t change the overall situation.

But those who could comprehend the Supreme Supreme Truth had the potential to become players who could alter the very landscape.

"My path is the path of bloodline."

"The one and only Divine Blood."

"Ask me where I come from, I come from nothingness."

"Trace it back to the source!"

Black Sword stood before the Wall of Supreme Truth, his bloodline boiling and surging.

A wisp of purple divine light quietly rose from the Wall of Supreme Truth.

This scene did not escape the attention of the Grand Supreme Truth cultivators.

“Purple energy rises—Black Sword… truly possesses the potential to comprehend the Supreme Supreme Truth!” Wusheng Celestial said, his voice tinged with a tremor.

Although Black Sword was known to have the potential for the Supreme Supreme Truth, no one dared to guarantee he would succeed in comprehending it.

Now, with the appearance of the purple energy, it was a precursor to grasping the Supreme Supreme Truth.

Instantly, countless eyes focused on Black Sword.

“For millions of years, no Yang God has comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth. Could it be… Black Sword will be the one?”

Ghost Dominion Heaven’s Grand Supreme Truth was visibly moved, his heart stirring with murderous intent.

Originally, the plan was for a lesser Yang God to assassinate Black Sword.

But now, it seemed he would have to take matters into his own hands.

The three elders of Black Demon Abyss, watching this unfold, were grinning so widely that their beards were crooked: “He hasn’t fully comprehended it yet—celebrating now might be too early.”

If Black Sword truly comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth, Black Demon Abyss’ standing in the Six Heavens would soar.

While Black Demon Abyss had many Grand Supreme Truth cultivators, none had comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth.

If one emerged, the entire balance of power would shift.

“Hmph, Black Sword Brother is about to comprehend the Supreme Supreme Truth, while some people… are still stuck on the Shadow God realm!” An Xunlu said smugly.

Purple Fate Xiao Lu stomped her foot in frustration.

Meanwhile, Purple Fate Xue held up her jade slip: “Purple energy rising, divine light protecting him, Black Sword Brother is floating like an immortal. Now, let’s check in on Molo Celestial... Ah, yes, he’s floating too—but in his sleep.”

Purple Fate Xue giggled as she spoke.

“I’m tempted to crack open his skull to see what he’s thinking. Is he comprehending the Supreme Truth in his dreams?”

Meanwhile, at the foot of the Wall of Supreme Truth, Qi Yuan was lying there, deep in thought.

Comprehending the Supreme Truth was a crucial matter in his life.

His mind had to be working at full speed.

“Why is it?”

“Why is it that I can’t win an argument with Purple Fate Xue?”

Qi Yuan pondered.

This was an important issue.

He thought and thought, but he couldn’t find the answer.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head.

The Wall of Supreme Truth really could stimulate one’s thinking.

“I’ve got it! It’s because, when I was a kid, I studied moral philosophy!”

“Oxhorn Sister didn’t study moral philosophy—she has no moral compass, which is why I can’t win!”

“Throw away morals, and you’ll live a perfect life!”

“If I had studied law instead...that would have been the right choice.”

At the foot of the Wall of Supreme Truth, Qi Yuan’s mind felt clearer than usual.

He realized that the reason he couldn’t out-talk Oxhorn Sister was that he had too much morality.

“Losing your morals isn’t so bad. If I studied law, I’d be unbeatable.”

“Morals… they’re just shackles.”

“But wait—laws… aren’t they just tools used by some to exploit others?”

“None of that really matters.”

Qi Yuan’s mind wandered through many thoughts.

Morals limited people, giving them boundaries and making them hesitate in their actions. Morals maintained social stability.

When morals decayed, one faced public condemnation, and the wrath of the masses.

“But…”

Qi Yuan frowned.

It seemed that even with decayed morals, as long as you didn’t break the law, you could still live well.

“Morality is order; law is also order… Can I win against Oxhorn Sister without morals but with knowledge of the law?”

Qi Yuan continued to think.

Morality and law maintained social stability.

To some extent, they were also tied to exploitation.

“It doesn’t seem like I can.”

“Is there a higher method?”

Qi Yuan pondered whether he could use moral high ground to trap Oxhorn Sister and then wield the law against her.

But upon further thought, he realized that Oxhorn Sister didn’t seem to care about morals. That wouldn’t work.

“No, I’m here to comprehend the Supreme Truth—I can’t be so petty. I need a bigger perspective.”

Qi Yuan was a frugal man, but even frugal men need to think big.

“I need a grand narrative!”

“I’m not trying to just win an argument with Oxhorn Sister—I want to… change her morality, her personality!”

“How did Blue Planet reform people?”

“No, wait… Why am I back to thinking about moral philosophy and law?”

“Oxhorn Sister doesn’t care about any of that.”

“What is it all for?”

“It seems I haven’t elevated myself enough—I need a broader view.”

“I’m not trying to reform Oxhorn Sister… I’m trying to…”

Qi Yuan thought deeply.

Suddenly, he remembered something Zero One had said to him.

“All paths return to Zero. The Great Way is survival!”

“I’m not trying to out-argue Oxhorn Sister—I’m doing this for survival!”

“The meaning of life for all living beings—isn’t it survival?”

From crawling out of the sea to growing wings on land.

Life had always been about finding a way forward.

Genes constantly evolved, adapting to their environment.

All of it was for the sake of survival, of continuity.

Morality and law were nothing more than means to create a stable environment for better reproduction and survival.

“I want to win against Oxhorn Sister because I want to survive!”

“Yes, if I lose, I’ll be so frustrated I might just die of stress!”

“So, survival is the most important thing!”

“But…how do I survive?”

“Should I study law? Shout lofty ideals? But secretly keep flexible morals?”

Qi Yuan pondered intensely.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out.

“Another surge of purple light—could it be that this Supreme Truth Debate will see another cultivator comprehend the Supreme Supreme Truth?”

Everyone’s attention turned to Supreme Sun Celestial.

“We’re witnessing history!”

All the Yang Gods were stirred.

Especially Moonflower Celestial—her face shifted between various shades of shock.

Moon Palace had already been at a disadvantage in its struggle against Taihuang Palace, and now…Taihuang Palace had produced yet another Yang God who had comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth.

How could Moon Palace possibly stand against them?

At this moment, Wusheng Celestial’s expression changed slightly.

He had been paying close attention to Supreme Sun Celestial.

If Taihuang Palace gained another Supreme Supreme Truth cultivator, the balance of power would shift.

“Moonflower Celestial, your Moon Palace has been looking for the Moon Dew Wind Essence, correct? It just so happens we have some in storage here at the Supreme Truth Debate,” Wusheng Celestial said openly.

Moon God Sovereign had been injured and had been in seclusion ever since.

Moon Palace had been searching for various treasures to heal Moon God Sovereign’s injuries.

The Moon Dew Wind Essence was one of those treasures.

Wusheng Celestial’s words represented the stance of the Supreme Truth Association.

It was clear that the Supreme Truth Association was preparing to assist Moon Palace.

After all, if Taihuang Palace produced two Supreme Supreme Truth Grand Supreme Truths, it would threaten the Supreme Truth Association’s position as the dominant force.

“Thank you, Wusheng Celestial!” Moonflower Celestial said with visible relief.

Taihuang Palace’s Grand Supreme Truth cultivator smiled playfully but said nothing.

The other Grand Supreme Truth cultivators present fell into a contemplative silence, seemingly considering the future power dynamics of the Six Heavens.

At this time, Oxhorn Sister sent a message to Qi Yuan’s Nascent Soul: “Your enemy is that Taihuang Palace cultivator. Now that they have another Supreme Supreme Truth cultivator, I guess I can’t be your concubine anymore.”

Oxhorn Sister’s words carried a hint of concern.

“They only have two. If I comprehend two Supreme Supreme Truths myself, wouldn’t that solve the problem?” Qi Yuan’s Nascent Soul replied casually.

Oxhorn Sister chuckled at this but said nothing more.

Time passed minute by minute.

The purple energy around Black Sword and Supreme Sun Celestial grew denser.

Once the purple energy condensed into divine light and was imprinted upon their divine souls, it would signify the completion of their Supreme Truth comprehension.

During this period, more and more Yang Gods had begun to comprehend the Supreme Truth.

Perhaps due to the arrival of a grand era, sixty Yang Gods had already comprehended the Supreme Truth, and this number was continuing to rise rapidly.

Qi Yuan lay on his bed, feeling like his brain was about to overload.

“My enemies keep getting stronger. Survival…is so difficult.”

After thinking it over, he discreetly took a bite of his Blood-Elevating Comprehension Pill.

It seemed that strange individuals attracted other strange individuals, as Purple Fate Xue continued to stare at Qi Yuan.

“Is this guy on vacation? He’s even eating snacks?” Purple Fate Xue couldn’t help but comment. “Is he going to wet the bed later?”

Having taken the Blood-Elevating Comprehension Pill, Qi Yuan felt his mind become even sharper.

“How can I survive better?”

“Born into the world, nine out of ten ways lead to death. Why is this? Because we cling too much to life.”

Qi Yuan recalled several wise sayings.

“The deceitful ones, they pretend to be morally upright, shout about ideals, wield the law, and lead their followers to their deaths.”

“When the scales tip, it’s often the kind-hearted ones who are sacrificed first.”

“If you can endure hardships, then endure more!”

“When it rains, carry an umbrella. When the sun is about to explode, take Blue Planet and flee?”

“In this world, to survive, you must adapt—to the rules of the world!”

“I’m deceitful by nature, but I can pretend to be noble.”

“I’m greedy, so I encourage others to suffer more!”

Qi Yuan’s thoughts were chaotic, with countless ideas swirling in his mind.

As the saying goes, the good don’t live long, while the wicked live for centuries.

Those who thrive the most in this world are often not the most virtuous or moral individuals.

Instead, they are the ones who can disguise themselves and exploit the rules.

“A man named Ode Bill once said, ‘You are what you eat.’ So, if you want to rise to the top, it’s not about enduring the hardest hardships—it’s about eating others!”

“Ode Bill also said that if you’re suffering, it’s because someone else is enjoying your share of happiness!”

“To survive better, you must…adapt!”

“Adapt to morality, adapt to law, adapt to the weather, adapt to the rules!”

“In the natural world, the strong devour the weak, and only the fittest survive!”

“So, my Supreme Supreme Truth is…Absolute Adaptation!”

“When it rains, what do I do? I grow an umbrella on my head!”

“If an old lady accuses me of knocking her down, and they ask why I helped her up, I’ll grow a camera on my head to record everything!”

With the help of the Blood-Elevating Comprehension Pill, Qi Yuan’s brain was working at an extraordinary pace.

In an instant, he grasped his own Supreme Supreme Truth.

Absolute Adaptation!

Only by adapting to everything can one survive!

Survival is the true essence of the Great Dao!

“I… I’ve comprehended it!”

A brilliant light flashed in Qi Yuan’s eyes.

Suddenly, purple energy began to rise.

The previously calm Grand Supreme Truth cultivators abruptly widened their eyes.

“Another Supreme Supreme Truth… Someone else has comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth!”

“It’s… Molo Celestial!”

In the skies, the Grand Supreme Truth cultivators were stunned.

“Molo Celestial… actually comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth!”

All the Grand Supreme Truth cultivators were shaken.

Black Sword and Supreme Sun Celestial comprehending the Supreme Supreme Truth was something they could accept.

But where on earth had this Molo Celestial come from?!

And now, all of a sudden, he’s comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth too?!

Among the shocked Grand Supreme Truth cultivators, none looked more troubled than Moonflower Celestial.

Moon Palace had not only been fighting Taihuang Palace but had also clashed with the Molo Clan and even Black Demon Abyss.

Now… her enemies had all comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth?!

How could this all happen at the same time?

Wusheng Celestial blinked in surprise as he watched this unfold. He even entertained the thought of starting a war with Moon Palace himself—perhaps adding another Supreme Supreme Truth cultivator to their ranks would help?

Every eye now turned to Molo Celestial.

Even Black Sword and Supreme Sun Celestial took a moment to glance at Molo Celestial.

At this moment, both Black Sword and Supreme Sun Celestial had finished imprinting the Supreme Supreme Truth onto their divine souls.

The two exchanged glances, their expressions calm. With a slight bow, Black Sword’s figure vanished.

Supreme Sun Celestial’s form also faded into the air.

With the budding comprehension of the Supreme Supreme Truth, both needed time to stabilize their new insights.

The two departed, and the Supreme Truth Debate continued.

All eyes remained on Molo Celestial.

“Three cultivators have comprehended the Supreme Supreme Truth. This Supreme Truth Debate will undoubtedly go down in history!”

“The Six Heavens… are about to change!”

“Wait, why hasn’t he left yet, despite having imprinted the Supreme Truth?”

“Oh, I get it. The Molo Clan doesn’t have any Grand Supreme Truth cultivators to protect him. It’s still safest for him to remain by the Wall of Supreme Truth.”

Several Yang Gods whispered among themselves.

Wusheng Celestial’s gaze lingered on Qi Yuan, deep in thought.

He was considering whether there might be a chance to recruit Molo Celestial into the Supreme Truth Association.

If they succeeded, the Supreme Truth Association would once again have the upper hand over Taihuang Palace.

At that moment, Oxhorn Sister couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Are you and Molo Celestial close or something? Please don’t report me for calling him ugly!” she said, sending a message to Qi Yuan’s Nascent Soul.

Qi Yuan’s Nascent Soul merely smiled and didn’t respond.

Meanwhile, beneath the Wall of Supreme Truth, Qi Yuan furrowed his brow once again.

“Absolute Adaptation is powerful—it’s the way of survival!”

“But… why should I be the one adapting to this world?”

“Shouldn’t the world be adapting to me?!”

“That’s right—the world owes me!”

Suddenly, Qi Yuan realized that while Absolute Adaptation was powerful, it was just ordinary in a sense.

On Blue Planet, adapting would make you stronger.

Adapting allowed you to gain control.

But adapting was also a form of compromise.

Qi Yuan’s nature was not to compromise.

Why should he have to grow a camera on his head to prove his innocence?

Why should he have to prove his innocence when a mere Qi Refinement junior falsely accused him, a Purple Mansion cultivator?

“So, merely adapting to the world is not enough!”

“My Supreme Truth cannot just be Absolute Adaptation!”

“The world must adapt to me!”

“I will…”
